The autopsy results have been released in the case of 7-year-old Nattiwat, who was found dead in a pond near Baan Duang district in Udon Thani province after going missing for several days. The medical examiner concluded the boy "likely died from drowning," though the report detailed ten additional findings including torn lacerations around both eyes, the right ear, neck, and lips, along with bruising on the face and withered, pale hands.

Deputy Superintendent Nattapong Songsom of Baan Duang Police Station has called Nattiwat's mother, Khamnuai, back for additional questioning as investigators consider whether the death was an accident or homicide. The mother maintains her conviction that her son drowned and repeatedly defended her new husband, saying that despite their marriage being less than a year old, he is devoted and loving toward her son, earning money diligently for the family and caring for Nattiwat even more than his biological father would.

Police have conducted a follow-up investigation at the site, with the mother present. She became emotional, kneeling by the pond's edge to pay respects to her son. Regarding suspicions about the orderly placement of shoes at the scene, the mother explained that her son typically arranged his shoes neatly but sometimes threw them carelessly, and frequently wore them on the wrong feet depending on his mood. Rescue personnel measured the pond depth, finding it ranged from approximately 170 centimeters at its deepest points to shallower areas with muddy bottoms. The mother theorized her son may have slipped while trying to catch fish in the deeper section. Police, however, have not ruled out the possibility of foul play and continue their investigation to determine the true cause of death.

The company behind Crocodile Brand liniment has commented on the incident involving influencer Bird Wanwangwang, who used the medicated oil instead of talcum powder on Songkran celebrants in Phra Pradaeng. The company confirmed they have contacted the content creator and will closely monitor and take appropriate action.

On April 26, 2026, Bird Wanwangwang posted a video from a Songkran celebration in Phra Pradaeng where she used Crocodile Brand liniment instead of talcum powder, diluting it in water and applying it to the faces and bodies of festival participants. This is considered highly dangerous, and the video showed the influencer unaware of the risks and potential harm to those exposed to the medicated oil.

Meanwhile, the Facebook page "So Pao - This Requires Attention" also highlighted the issue, stating: "This year's Songkran in Phra Pradaeng saw 'Bird Wanwangwang' take the prank too far, using 'Crocodile Brand liniment' instead of powder and applying it to the faces and bodies of people playing in the water, including children."

After the post went viral, many people criticized the action. Importantly, the Crocodile Brand liniment company itself commented, stating:

The company has already coordinated with the relevant content creator to request removal of the content from all social media channels. This is because the content involved incorrect product usage outside its intended purpose and posed safety risks to consumers and the public.

The company emphasizes proper product usage according to instructions and prioritizes safety. The company will closely monitor the situation and take appropriate action. Regards, Crocodile Corporation Limited.

After the company's statement, many comments followed, with most suggesting legal action against the influencer, and others expressing similar sentiments about taking the matter to court.

Bird Wan Waang has made headlines again after pulling a dangerous stunt at Phra Prathang's Songkran festivities. Instead of using traditional powder, the content creator mixed cement adhesive in a container and applied it to unsuspecting festival participants, captioning the video "Is this how they play Songkran powder at Phra Prathang?" In the footage, Bird displayed a package of crocodile-branded cement adhesive, mixed it in a plastic bucket while wearing plastic gloves, then went out to splash the unknown substance on Songkran celebrants.

The "Drama-addict" page subsequently detailed the hazards of cement adhesive, which contains portland cement, silica sand, and additional chemical compounds. When exposed to moisture or water, these ingredients become highly alkaline and can cause severe harm to the human body in multiple ways:

1. Skin Contact: Hazards: Cement in the adhesive extracts moisture from skin, causing dryness, tightness, redness, itching, and irritation. Prolonged contact or exposure to sweaty or wet skin can result in chemical burns, dermatitis, and skin peeling. Solution: Rinse immediately with clean water and soap thoroughly. Avoid scratching affected areas. Seek medical attention if reactions are severe.

2. Eye Exposure (Extremely Dangerous): Hazards: The alkaline cement dust reacts with tear fluid, causing severe irritation, burning sensation, red eyes, and conjunctivitis. Without immediate rinsing, it can cause deep corneal scarring or lead to permanent vision loss.

On April 26, 2026, Prisat Wachasindu, a list-based MP and former spokesperson for the Thai Khadi Party, posted on Facebook stating that over the past 2-3 years, while serving as party spokesperson since the Krathin Rai Party period through the Thai Khadi Party, he has worked diligently based on three core principles: 1) emphasizing communication to build public trust through broad feedback, accurate information, consistent principles, and addressing public concerns; 2) transforming the spokesperson team's role from sole communicator to a support unit enabling other MPs and party members to communicate effectively on their areas of responsibility; and 3) working as a unified team that leverages individual strengths while maintaining message consistency across diverse communication formats to reach all segments of the public.

Prisat noted that given the dynamic political landscape and challenges around misinformation, the spokesperson team has identified numerous communication tasks requiring acceleration and improvement since the election. He has consequently requested a personnel change from party leadership and spent two months planning the transition. Prisat expressed genuine pleasure in handing over the spokesperson duties and leadership to Ms. Phakamon Nunnanont, a list-based MP and current party spokesperson. He highlighted that he has worked closely with her since joining Krathin Rai Party in 2022 and has learned much from her. Her ability to simplify complex issues and reach a broad audience is evident to anyone following her debates and work. Prisat concluded: "Moving forward, as the party undertakes deep intellectual work on critical issues and intensifies efforts to energize supporters, persuade the undecided, and win over skeptics, I believe Khun Phakamon will be a vital force for the Thai Khadi Party in improving this nation. I thank all my colleagues in the spokesperson team, the party for its trust, and the media for the opportunity to work together."

April 26, 2026 – A pickup truck high-speed collision occurred at a red light intersection, resulting in damage to three vehicles and a loud crash in the middle of the road. The incident took place on the Phayao-Chiang Rai Road at the Mae Tham red light intersection in Muang District, Phayao Province.

At the scene, a Toyota pickup truck was found with severe front-end damage and a collapsed hood, having struck the rear of a bronze-colored Toyota sedan. The sedan's rear was heavily damaged from the impact, with vehicle debris and broken glass scattered across the roadway.

Also found was a white Honda sedan parked further away, which sustained minor rear damage from the chain-reaction collision.

Witnesses reported that all three vehicles were waiting at the red light when the signal turned green and traffic began moving. The pickup truck suddenly came at high speed and violently struck the rear of the Toyota sedan, causing it to slide forward and hit the Honda, resulting in successive damage.

Following the incident, officers from Muang Phayao Police Station arrived at the scene and took the pickup truck driver for an alcohol breath test. The results showed 272 milligrams per cent, significantly exceeding the legal limit.

The driver was taken to Muang Phayao Police Station for settlement negotiations with the victims and will face charges for driving under the influence and reckless driving causing damage to others' property.

On April 26, 2026, Col. Apichat Thongphaep, superintendent of Phra Pradaeng Police Station, received a report of an armed assault with a firearm in Suksan 72 Alley, Bang Jak Subdistrict, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province. Police dispatch teams were sent to investigate.

Two victims were identified at the scene: Ms. Sunantha, 33 years old (wife), shot in the right thigh, and Mr. Noprat, 34 years old (husband), shot in the chest with a critical condition. Good Samaritans transported both victims to Bang Prakok Hospital 3, where the husband later died from his injuries.

Investigation revealed that the shooting was carried out by Mr. Ratan, 24, accompanied by his friend Mr. Sao, 15. The pair had been celebrating Songkran by playing in water and drinking alcohol. Once intoxicated, they set out to settle a score with a rival, riding their motorcycle to two separate locations. At the first location in Suksan 74 Alley, the target wasn't present. Despite residents' attempts to intervene, Ratan drew his weapon and fired a warning shot.

The second location was Suksan 72 Alley, where they encountered Ms. Sunantha's group playing Songkran. Ms. Sunantha's daughter, who knew Mr. Sao, called out to him, but the intoxicated Ratan misinterpreted this as insults directed at him. After stopping his motorcycle and approaching the group, Ratan demanded to know who had insulted him. When a verbal argument ensued, Mr. Noprat, who had heard the commotion from nearby, came out to intervene. A physical altercation followed, during which Ratan drew his gun and fired three shots, hitting both Mr. Noprat and Ms. Sunantha before fleeing on his motorcycle.
